All 7 Mana Commanders - EDH Gameplay - Ep 110

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  The Dalek Emperor

  Cast early using affinity for Daleks and generate 3/3 menace artifact creatures each combat to force opponents to sacrifice creatures or face damage, steadily increasing pressure with counters and multiple threats.

• 

  Ovika, Enigma Goliath

  Hold spells until the commander is on the battlefield, then cast high mana value spells to flood the board with goblins that have haste, enabling a massive, sudden attack to overwhelm opponents.

• 

  Atarka, World Render

  Utilize large flying creatures with double strike and damage doubling effects to control the skies and steadily reduce opponents’ life totals through repeated combat damage.

• 

  Cyan, Vengeful Samurai

  Mill creatures into the graveyard to drastically reduce the commander’s casting cost, then reanimate and enhance those creatures with counters and double strike, aiming to win through commander damage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The Dalek Emperor’s villainous choice ability created constant pressure by forcing opponents to sacrifice creatures or allow the creation of menacing artifact creatures, effectively taxing their board presence.

• 2

  Ovika’s synergy with non-creature spells and generating massive red mana to produce a hasty goblin army was a pivotal strategy to swing the game in one large burst of damage.

• 3

  Casting Scourge of Valkas along with Twinflame Tyrant allowed for repeated damage pinging, further amplifying Atarka’s aggressive flying strategy and keeping opponents on the back foot.

• 4

  Cyan’s deck cleverly used graveyard interactions and changelings to cheat out the commander early and then enhance creatures for a swift commander damage finish.

• 5

  Players carefully managed their mana ramp and card advantage, with equipment like Skullclamp enabling card draw and resource replenishment to maintain pressure throughout the game.
